New facebook changes and how it affects C2

So I recently tried to publish a Facebook game but I cannot. It seems that Facebook has changed a lot when it comes to how to submit a game.

I tried to trouble shoot for about an hour today but without any success. Does anybody know how to upload a game to the new facebook?

Has anybody been successful with deploying to the new facebook?

What's changed exactly? Does it require a HTTPS url?

The biggest change is that there is no see app profile page. It has been replaced with an app timeline view. But with the new facebook version I can't seem to access my app.

There is an option where you can build a custom page for your app but I haven't got that to work either. I think you might have to add the app in manually but again, I haven't figured it out.

The submitting is quite simple, but the main problem for most of us will be, that Facebook now required HTTPS... and a Certificate that is validated by every browser is way too expensive.

When everything is set up correctly, you will see a "Play Game" Button on the Timeline Page.

This is my example I set up:

facebook.com/pages/GOG-Sailor-Community/243989519026069

The Game does not work, as I am updating PHP at the moment on my server :)

What did you do differently in the scirra tutorial on how to make a facebook game.

I am on a german layout, so a few words might be different for you than my translation :)

Setting

-> Basics

--> Applicationdomain: Enter here the domain you have uploaded your game to

--> Facebook Integration

---> Website: You need to insert a website, even if it does not exist at all

---> Application on Facebook: Secure Canvas-URL (Enter here the path to your game, starting with https://)

And that's all... nothing more I did :)

Huh, that's annoying, I'll see if I can update the tutorial at some point.

Ubivis - SSL certificates used to be expensive, but they're a lot cheaper now. For example, there's one for �10 a year at http://www.123-reg.co.uk/ssl-certificates/. Shop around and you'll find similar deals elsewhere.

Are those approved certificates?

You can also get some for free, but your browser will still bring up a security notice, if the company that gave your the cert is not in the list of trusted ones. :(

I have done this before but I cannot seem to find a link to my game on my facebook page. Did you select see app timeline view to see it?

hmm, I am not sure about this anymore. I set the page up last week to play around with the new features. You could try :)

I have been tinkering around with the entire platform for the last two days. Im not getting anywhere.

well I'm very confuse with facebook.

I get to publish my game in FB but I had to buy a https hosting to my game.

No other way to work.But I'm confuse because the game just display in a page that I can't customise ... and I don't know a very good way to promove this in a official page in FB.There is just a link in a page and I can't connect both.

The Hiscore is my other problem... after had a lot of help in the forum I get this to work, but late I discover that its just publish my own score, and for some friends... I don't know why.I think all my code is OK, but its don't work.

I'd like Ashley try to publish there and if you guys from SCIRRA make a tutorial more detailed showing the settings inside facebook and in Construct.

Anyway here the link for my game, and I hope publish this in Arcade very soon.

You can still use most of the facebook functionality if you set it up and use the app secret and app ID. You just can't see the app on facebook.

Facebook API only allows you to access Your own scores and some friends, its no coding issue its a "feature".
